On Our Radar: Winter Shorts -- Get the LOOK!

This trend has been on our radar for quite some time but now with fall almost in full swing we can't wait to try out this new trend -- shorts with tights! Yes, but please - there are only a few right ways to do this trend. Our favorite? Tweed shorts, tights and a great pair of knee high boots! Check out some celebs who have showed off this trend for some inspiration!






cupcakeMAG trend tips for making it work
  • It is all about from grunge to glam -- it is a more ediger, sexier, prettier look minus the grunge era. It is all about being effortless but making a fashion statment. Wearing a silhoutte that flatters your figure. So make sure you still keep your shape in mind when embracing this trend. 
  • Dress it down or up! The look is defintely more casual, but tights under shorts can be dressy when done right. Thinking a black opaque tight with a great heel topping off a high-waisted short would be a perfect dress it up look or add some sparkle up top & great strappy heels! Going more caz? Pair it with a sleek blazer and tee or a cami combo an layer on a bold statment piece -- like a great necklace. Or throw on some great Frye boots.
